[quote=blacktail4ever;3554362]So I have seen posts on not getting the broadheads to group like field tips so I am going to post a few tips on tuning arrows.As long as you are following these tips you should never have to ajust your sights from field tips to broadheads and your groups should be the same as your field tips.Attachment 6936 First start off with your arrow cut to legnth and insert in and glue dry if using a internal insert.If you have a regular insert or aluminum arrow there will be different steps. you will need a grinding stone as shown in picture.you can get them at your local pro shop.second a broadhead the same weight as your field tip.Attachment 6935 The second step for internal inserts is to spin the arrow putting pressure on the arrow grinding it until the blades line up with the broadheadAttachment 6933spin the arrow on your hand and check for wobbles in the shaft.Attachment 6934If there are wobbles take off the broadhead and repeat the grinding method over.grind down only enuf to make the broadhead line up with the next fletching check for wobbles and repeat if neccicary.sometimes it will take a few times to get a true tune.the arrow should have zero wobble in it and line up perfect.doing this will make your arrows fly true and just the same as a field point.
now if you have regular inserts when putting the insert in I will use a slow cure glue and do the same steps pretty much.Put the broadhead in the insert without glue.grind arrow as shown.put in insert and check the tuning as shown.once tuned add the glue and line up the broadhead.spin tune and rotate from fletch to fletch till the tune is true.set arrow with the broadhead strait up till glue dries. don't set the arrow on the broadhead anywhere.Hopefully this helps some people.[/quote
